Lord Hastings's journal of his travels from Calcutta to the Punjab
in 1814-1815 records the events and views of this journey
accompanied by 200 large watercolour illustrations by Sita Ram.
This book includes an edited version of the journal charting his
passage through the India of the early nineteenth century. Though
Sita Ram's picturesque paintings were a sharp departure from the
accurate `Company' views of Indian monuments, they nonetheless
revealed his eye for architectural detail. Taking the readers along
as part of Lord Hastings's party, J. P. Losty brings alive the
seventeen- month long expedition in a flotilla of 220 boats from
Barrackpore past Patna, Benares, Allahabad and Cawnpore, and then
overland to Lucknow, Delhi and the Punjab, through Sita Ram's
never-before-published paintings of Colonial India.
